How Can I Make A Curved Line On This Picture??

Imagine the picture posted is a piece of yarn...Is there a way in photoshop to "stretch" this yarn into a straight line. In other words, is there a way to copy the color gradient and apply it to a straight line with all of the relative distances between colors preserved?

Hello Everyone!

I need something creative help. I don't really know how to use photoshop that well other than basic functions. I have recently started getting serious about my photography, and had just picked out my watermark. My Photography alias is "Mr. Infinity". I had outlined my watermark, but want something custom done to it.


Here it is:





I am using this infinity symbol, but would like to see what it would look like if the letters "Mr." and "Mister" were somehow embedded on the bottom left curved line. Somewhat like this, but on the left side:




Of the full "Mr. Infinity Photography" like this:




Any creativity you want to embed in it is fine with me. Looking for someone who is good at photoshop, and wouldn't mind taking a couple minutes to help me out.


Thanks in advance.

Hey Guys , hows u all doing ? good afternoon from india
I have a small difficulty with an image i came accross the web



now if you look closely the squares that have text on them , they are not exactly flat , rather they are kind of curved on the edges , i tried adding a drop shadow and doing skew , perspective etc . but could't really figure out how to get the curved shape .

if somebody can just vaguely describe to me how should i go about creating such awesome squares it would be great . no need to post or something , if someone can just give me a fair idea , i'll try it and post the result .

Thanks .

Gautam,

I did find a post to this but the solution did not help me and it was over a year ago so I did not want to bump an old thread. Here was the post I came across


"I'm having a bit of a strange problem with the text tool on CS4 at the moment.

When I have drawn a work-path with the pen tool and then attempt to type along it the text does now show up and I cannot edit it.
The cursor changes when I hover over the start of the path to indicate that the type path is available but once I click and start typing nothing seems to happen. The name of the text layer changes to what I've just typed however so it is definitely inputting it somewhere."



This is exactly what I am dealing with now. The solution in the original thread said make sure the text is not white on white background ( mine is black on transparent ) and is left justified and not center or right. My text is left justified and it still does not show up. My text is Wet Dynamite. The odd thing is my font size is currently 72, if I drop it down to 48, the W shows if I go smaller it disappears again. Even at 48 when the W shows, if I try to retype, I still can't see the rest of the phrase. I have done this method before and had no issues in the past with this technique. This seems like a bug in CS4 to me.

Any help with this would be great as I can't get past this stage in my design and can't use the warp tool for text because it looks like crap.

Thank you for your time. Ive saved my project out into a test file so you can see. If you can load it and easily see or add the text in the top curved path, then I know there has to be an issue with my CS4

I've merged the original exposures into a panorama using PS's photo merge tool, and then used the Adaptive Lens filter to straighten it out. The merge gave a cup shape to the horizon. The Adaptive Lens filter wasn't as easy as expected, as just marking the horizon was not working and I could find no way to tell it that the projected line it drew was not following the right curve! But I found that making a bunch of overlapping small lines did the trick.

So here's what I have now:

Before I work on color, I need to get the composition right. The distant horizon is straight, and the change in features on the left is a natural place to have a bend, but maybe the distant horizon ought to be a bit curved after all? I'm open to suggestions.
The near space is too distorted and doesn't match, but having the feature provides for the opening up of the distance beyond it. But maybe it can be shaped or modified somehow?

Any suggestions or discussion on what I should do next?

Also, I've found that PS will not save a file if it runs larger than 2GB. A more enormous merge could not be saved with layers intact. This thing is already pushing 2GB, with one "smart" layer + the lens filter and a vibrancy adjustment layer.

I mean, this seems a little silly, but when I try making it, just looks like a line on the finger, or the neck. Probably because I don't know how to add this "3D feeling". do you guys know how to make that look real, like the gem is "poppin' out"? as seen, I don't really know how to explain it clearly, but I hope u guys understand it. if someone knows a technique to make this, please tell me cause it is gettin' me on my nerves. thx!



I'm trying to work with these pictures and these (for the ring) (for the necklace)

Hope I can state this question clearly. I'm trying to figure out how to assure that the adjustment handles on a particular anchor point exactly form a straight line with each other, rather than having one handle going off at an angle vs. the other handle.

In the illustration below, in the first path I simply grabbed the anchor point and dragged to the right. The two adjustment handles are automatically of identical length and are perfectly in line with each other (which creates a perfectly smooth curve).

However, in the second path, suppose I want to drag the right adjustment handle further to the right. I can do this manually, but then the adjustment handle is free to pivot up or down and I can only hope that I have kept the two handles exactly in line with each other. If they are not precisely in line, you get somewhat of a cusp rather than a smooth curve.

Is there any way to manually drag just one of the adjustment handles, yet still force both of them to be exactly in line?

Hi all,
I'd to design a noodle soup bowl like below. Can someone please show me how to do that? Or point me to some tutorials. Thank you very much.


Vinh.

Just a quick question , whats the best way to make those curvy line in these images (for the 1st images the curvy/wavy lines are in the middle and for the secound its right at the bottom) ? is the pen tool the best bet or using shapes ? i saw one tutorial in which one guy used shapes , but that kind of seemed to be rigid . Please advice me .

Thank you .

Hello,
I wondered if someone would hear me out and possibly help or advise me.
In the attachment there is a great picture of a bass jumping with the sky and sunset in the background.
I added a white paw to the sky and hope to make it look or blend in as a beleivable cloud in the sky.
My novice thoughts about how I might do this was as follows:
1) create and save a precise selection of the paw with a close detailed trace (I am having trouble donig this ste) and save the selction.
2) take that selection to the background copy layer and delete all the area inside that selection
3) take the background copy for cloud breakthrough layer and place it below the background copy layer with color enhancements to show through the holes in the background copy layer.

there is also a cloud paw layer which I aborted efforts working with.

-Bottom line is I am looking for a cloud paw in the sky which looks good, an orange emphasis is desired.

If you can do some work in the file and post it back up or at least advise how you would reccomend I try and go about it would be greatly appreciated.
BTW - The selection process really giving me fits with the idea I had, If you know of a great selection tutorial please send me some info.

Thanks,
Joe
